Does everyone have curly pubic hair?

Most are curved, about 82%, and the rest are straight. There are two reasons for the song. First, the curves are like soft springs, which can better offset the impact force. The second is that even if it is very long during sexual intercourse, it will not enter the vagina.

Why do some women have extra dense body hair?

Why do some women have excessive body hair?

Some statistics have been done abroad: among normal women aged 15-44, 30% have mustaches, 9% have obvious cheek hair, 6% have thick hair below the temples, and 30% and 70% have darker and thicker hair on their forearms and calves, respectively.

How to determine if you have too much body hair

Many girls grow dense vellus hair around their lips, chin, thighs, calves, arms, etc., with a male-like hair distribution, thick black eyebrows, and pubic hair that grows towards the abdomen and even the navel. This phenomenon is medically known as "hirsutism."

Excessive hair affects one's appearance and body beauty. Girls with excessive hair always feel uneasy and try various methods to "remove hair". When excessive hair growth occurs, it is important to find out the causative factor and prescribe the right medicine.

Excessive hair growth is sometimes a sign of ovarian disease

Before girls remove their hair, they must first understand a disease: polycystic ovary syndrome. A typical feature of this disease is increased hair growth, especially on the calves, arms, midline of the abdomen, vulva and around the anus, with a masculine tendency in hair distribution. However, when these symptoms appear, many people do not realize that they should go to the gynecology or endocrinology department for examination, but go to the dermatology department or beauty salon, which delays the treatment of the disease.

Doctors say that this disease not only affects personal image, it also brings some unexpected long-term hazards - because polycystic ovary syndrome causes long-term amenorrhea and anovulation, the endometrium is continuously stimulated by estrogen, without progesterone to counteract and periodic endometrial shedding, so the risk of endometrial cancer increases. At the same time, polycystic ovary syndrome often has insulin resistance, so the incidence of hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease increases. The cause of the disease is still unclear, but modern lifestyle and genetic factors have an impact on it.

Excessive hair growth in women is mostly caused by genetics, disease and excessive hormone secretion. What is less known is that certain drugs can also cause excessive hair growth. These drugs fall into two main categories.

First, non-hormonal drugs

The reason why drugs that do not contain hormones can cause hirsutism is that after entering the human body, they may affect the liver's function of decomposing and inactivating male hormones. If they act for a long time, excessive male hormones will be formed in the body, which will lead to hirsutism. This type of medicine covers a wide range, mainly antibiotics: penicillin and streptomycin are commonly used. A small number of women may have excessive hair on their limbs and trunk;

Second, hormone drugs

Human hair growth is affected by endocrine hormones, especially androgens. Some women with the disease may directly develop hirsutism if they use drugs containing androgens. Such as methyltestosterone, testosterone propionate, testosterone phenylacetate and other male hormones.
